Excessive

preoccupied while driving long distances
or being kept up at night
faking attention while allegedly fixed
on conversations at lunch
always hidden in my skull

constantly sorting out the information
or reevaluating what’s tucked away
in all the brain drawers
thoughts about the annoyingly plangent
to the mundane and everything in between

the barrage of endless mental whirring
holds me prisoner
torturingly so
while i ache for peace
from these mental gymnastics
